You will stay for 10 nights on the Maki Boat. Maki is a 105 feet liveaboard Phinisi built in 2017 in South Sulawesi, Indonesia - a place with a very strong maritime heritage, as far back as the days of spice trading. Known as Bugis, the South Sulawesi people have earned the reputation of best boat builders and sailors in the East Indies. Their talent was recognized by the Dutch and other colonizers due to their Phinisi boats being much faster in these waters.
They have passed on their skills down generations and are still the highest regarded boat builders in Indonesia today. This beautiful art has its days counted as it is becoming increasingly harder to find Indonesian hardwoods for its construction. As fiberglass and aluminum are becoming the norm, Maki Boat felt they must take the opportunity to bring one of these beauties to North Sumatra and fill it with surfers in the search for empty line ups!
When Maki was found, it was serving as a luxury diving charter boat in the Komodo region for two years. The vessel has now been converted to a surf charter in Mentawai. Aimed to deliver maximum comfort, it has a large living room with two dining tables, open plan kitchen, and TV, an external lounge to hang out and watch the surf, a sun deck with eight day-beds and five cabins - each of them with its own complete bathroom.
On top of its magnitude and tradition, Maki has also all the fun toys: kayaks, SUPs, and, of course, auxiliary dinghies to reach the surf. Food, drinks, and barrels are all under an all you can handle policy.

Programme
The ground staff will be waiting for you at Padang’s airport, Sumatra. The passengers will be taken to either a hotel, restaurant, or surf shop until the boat gets ready to leave, usually after sunset. The board bags and big suitcases are taken straight to the boat, as part of the preparation for the crossing to Mentawai.
The crossing takes 10 to 14 hours over the Mentawai straight. From then on, you spend 12 days chasing some of the best waves on the planet. Lefts, rights, mushy, hollow, long, short, a true playground for all levels of surfers, from beginners to professionals. You will be surfing waves like Macaronis, Hollow Trees, E-Bay, Rifles, Hideaways, No Kandui, Nipussi, Greenbush, Thunders, among many other perfect spots in the islands.
There are more than a hundred spots, a couple for almost any possible condition of swell, wind, and tide. They are spread out in four main surf zones. The surf guide will present the best options for the given conditions in that zone and the group can decide where to surf.
You usually sleep in calm, protected anchorages. Early in the morning, the boat is already in front of a spot according to the forecast. You can hop on the dinghy and be dropped close to the take-off spot only moments after getting out of bed if you wish. The water is transparent and warm, definitely bring your snorkel.
Come enjoy the Mentawai Islands and live the ultimate surf retreat aboard the newest and flashiest vessel operated by seasoned guides and crew - you’ll be taking home memories for a lifetime!
Lieu
The Mentawai Islands are a chain of about 70 islands and islets off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Siberut is the largest of the islands. The other major islands include Sipora, North Pagai (Pagai Utara), and South Pagai (Pagai Selatan). Approximately 150 kilometers from the Sumatran coast across the Mentawai Strait. The journey starts from the port of Padang.
From April until October, Mentawai is hit by consistent groundswells that form off the coast of South Africa and travel over a week to arrive from either a south or southwest influence.
The Mentawai is located in the Interchangeable Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The large amount of solar radiation that arrives at the earth in this area causes intense heating of the land and ocean. This heating results in the rising of warm, moist air; low air pressure; cloudiness; high humidity; light, variable winds; and various forms of severe weather, such as thunderstorms and squalls.
The doldrums are also noted for calms, periods when the winds disappear, trapping sailing vessels for days or weeks. The dream come true for a surfer of any level.

Activités et lieux à visiter
